aha...good point Stealth! but I meant details on the car, not the run
Meh...do whatever you please, post or no post (for the car); on debut at top alcohol, that is bloody impressive.
I just wanted to point that out.

Re: lb 2.6 swap questions
I'm running an LC with a 2.6L, but don't quite know what the setup is under there. (Bought it as is) Thus proving it can be done! :P I think it's just a plain swap if you keep the gearbox. But...any tuning more than a d/d weber and you might as well kiss that gearbox goodbye. (don't think the diff w...

Re: Hey Fellow Lancer Nuts
I think you mean specifically '74's. (not '75's and '76's). And if that's the case, You may actually be right...the 2 doors came out after Chrysler bowed to public pressure (cheap bastards) to release the 2dr models seen at the Southern Cross rally. You know they could have gone for the SL-5, GSL or...

Re: 4G32 waterpump
Actually, just like the 4G54...there's a fair few 4G32's as well. (4G32 / 4G32b w.o balance shafts / 4G32b w balance shafts / 4G32b EFI / 4G32 EFI Turbo)...I'm not too sure this will suit our earlier model 4G32's anyway...certainly not the chain drive, or standard belt drive.

Re: Respraying a Sigma
Well, I was going to do it myself (before Kinglake disappeared off the map) as I'd basically shored up a massive shed with equally large space for an entire car, a whole bunch of drapes, and a nice large industrial compressor...something that won't run out of juice after 5mins of usage (an actual sp...

Spot on...the KM132 5-speeds are the way to go for an astron (they don't like to fit in the older cars too well)...so we like the KM119's with our saturns and the corresponding (cheaper) 4.222 diffs! OUCH! that kinda incident can never be good for any car or driver. Did that end up an accident? I'm ...

There is nothing wrong with a saturn engine! :evil: Why is everyone obsessed with sticking a dirty great big anchortron into the front of a perfectly balanced car?

Re: Front brakes
Hey, COBWBS...My front guards survived untouched up at Kinglake, along with a few other bits and pieces that I'd put in the shed too.
Seeming I don't seem to have an LB to put this stuff in, you want 'em?

Well, I must admit it's definitely one hell of a lot different to most of the other cars around here.
It's always great to see these cars competing in any form of motorsport!

Re: Front brakes
Ok, I'll give this a shot! 1. Remove the retaining pins again. (the two pins that go over the top of the brake pads) 2. The "K spring" (closest to your fingers) is placed over the inside pad. The clip part goes over the top, and the spring sits inside the pad. 3. Replace the retaining pins...

They lock the pad protector in place ...but trying to quote the manual re-installation process is as good as useless without pics.

Re: R.I.P. The Beast
Mitsugalant: No...this is actually Larace's old race engine (there was a really good reason why she was called "The Beast"). What can't be seen is the spare 4sp that's sitting on the back seat. And, just by pot luck, I shifted this engine into the shed, and it's the only one that survived....
